Happy New Years! December was certainly a fitting way to cap off an adventurous 2011. Throughout the month we upgraded our VPS plans, had another massive sale, and bought some new toys, all the while finding time to celebrate the holidays. Read More

It’s the holiday season, so we’re of course feeling generous. Then again who isn’t, with all the holiday cheer, festive music and decorations you can’t help but notice everywhere you go. Bringing that spirit to our hosting world, we’ve decided to provide free bandwidth and memory upgrades to all of our VPS customers. Read More

The holidays are upon us and for people around the world that means family, friends, good food, and if you’re lucky a few gifts. Oh, and Boxing Day. While it’s a lesser known event compared to Black Friday, it’s still pretty popular in Canada. Luckily for you all, we’re based in Canada so we’re going to celebrate! For anyone who missed out on our Black Friday specials, here’s your chance to get the exact same savings for Boxing Day. That means up to 80% off a super hosting plan. So starting at 12:00am CST December 26th (GMT-6) and ending at 11:59pm CST (GMT-6), the following coupons and savings will be active: Read More

Now that we’re into the final month of the year, it’s easy to look back and reflect on all the movement we’ve made as a company in the past 11 months. Focusing specifically on November though, we opened a new location, broke sales records (with a large margin), and launched our own VPS panel. Not a bad month! :) Read More

So Halloween has come and gone, and with it the month of October. Now that the candy is gone we figure it’s a good time to recap on the month. We’ve also brought two new, international locations online in the last 30 days so we’ll take a chance to discuss that a bit. Read More

Time for our second annual Black Friday sale! This year we’ve got sales on both our shared and reseller hosting services. As always these promotions are valid on Black Friday only so 12:00am Friday November 25th CST (GMT-5) and will run until 11:59pm CST (GMT-5) Friday. Read More

Already into October – it’s going to be 2012 in another 2.5 months. That’s a strange thought, as I can remember writing the first blog post for 2011 as if it were last week. The year has really moved (they always seem to) and September was no different. Another 30 days come and gone, and here’s what we did! Read More

We’re officially online in Singapore and accepting shared hosting orders! Our hardware was setup and online Wednesday afternoon , and shortly after our sysadmins went to work getting the server production ready. They worked their magic and I am beyond proud to announce we’ve opened our first international location! Read More

Got your attention with that title I hope. We’re not opening quite yet overseas, but we’re close. How close? Based on word from our provider and information on their website, pre-orders begin on September 23rd and servers go live on October 3rd in Singapore. In addition to the datacenter opening, the PoPs in Hong Kong and Tokyo will also be opening on the 3rd. As for Amsterdam, pre-orders begin on October 24th, with no official date on when those servers or additional European PoPs go live. Read More
